Even though weare only an hour away from Seattle, we don’t make it up there very often. Since my mom is visiting we wanted to take her to Pikes Place Market and our favorite Greek restaurant on Saturday. I’ve been to the market a few times now but this was my first time buying any…
Falafel Veggie Burger with Feta Yogurt Sauce
I really enjoy a good veggie burger and love that there is such a variety on how to prepare them- some are made with rice, some with lentils, some full of vegetables. One thing they have in common though- no meat! This version is a little different than your typical veggie burger- it’s got a…
Fettuccine with Seared Tomatoes, Spinach and Goat Cheese
I am a magazine junkie- I subscribe to at least 5 food magazines and love them all! However, the one I have subscribed to the longest, and is still my favorite, is Cooking Light. I can’t tell you how many their recipes I have tried- an insane amount and they are all fabulous. Last week…

A Running Community & Braised Chicken with Sausage & Beans
Oh boy how is it Sunday already? It always shocks me how quickly the weeks fly by. It was a pretty quiet weekend for us. The excitement for me was that I joined a neighborhood running group! It’s called Wear Blue to Remember and was created to build a running community that honors the service…
Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce + Benefits of Eggs
I am always on the look out for new ways to eat my eggs. This might look like a strange combo but it was delicious! I love eggs and yes there is some controversy about their health benefits. Depending on the source and your personal reaction to them, they might not be best for you….

Kale Salad with Lemon Dressing
I could live off salads. I am not kidding. I just love the variety you have when creating one- from the greens you use, to the add-ins and dressing. There is no reason to be eating boring ol’ tossed salads all the time. Let’s get creative! First off, kale isn’t my typical green for a…
